Former Red Bull Racing Academy product Dan Ticktum has joined Formula 2 side DAMS for the 2020 season, alongside Sean Gelael, with the French team looking to defend their teams' title.
Ticktum, who came runner-up to Mick Schumacher in the 2018 Formula 3 championship, has re-joined the Le Mans-based team after his drive in the GP3 series back in 2017.
The 20-year-old looked set to win the F3 championship in 2018, but the sudden resurgence of Schumacher led to comments from Ticktum when he questioned the improvements with the German's car.
Ticktum took part in Super Formula this season, and has since been dropped from the Red Bull scheme, but next season he will take part in F1's main feeder series, with Nicholas Latifi joining Formula 1 side Williams for next season.
"It's an honour to be joining DAMS in Formula 2 for the 2020 season," Ticktum said. "Having competed with them in GP3 in 2017, I'm looking forward to being back with the team and continuing to build on those successes.

"By winning the teams' title this year, DAMS has again shown that they are one of the best outfits out there. François and his team have a reputation in the Formula 1 paddock for producing top drivers as well as for offering them the best support to get them to F1 – I can’t wait to get started later this week in Abu Dhabi.”
